Charges could be filed against a ‘person of interest’ arrested yesterday, in connection with a storage building fire in Shelby. Inspectors still haven’t determined what caused the fire that gutted an Edwards Mini-Storage building…but the person taken into custody is suspected of unlawfully handling burning materials. Assistant Shelby Fire Chief Tony Holinka doubts that much of the property in the building can be saved. Many of the storage unit doors had to be ripped open by the fire department to get stored materials out.
